I swear those Sonic games should be out now. They have ratings... What's with them?

[/div]

You realize just cause a game has been rated it doesnt mean that its coming to VC. Earthbound has been rated for years now and we all know that thats not coming to VC.

I think he's talking about player ratings (the 5 star system on eShop). The Sonic games have a few player ratings already, suggesting that reviewers are already getting review codes (which usually happens about a week or so before the game is made available).

In the youtube Nintendo video that was posted on the last page, they didn't even mention Mole Mania, and we got that one already. So I'm assuming there may be more tricks up their sleeve for North America.

Why would it be the NES game? This is a handheld VC, and it wouldn't make sense to release a game like Gradius on the NES 3DS VC first over the GB one.

While I agree that classic handheld games should take priority on 3DS VC, if NOJ is any indication, we may start seeing more (non-ambassador) NES games coming.

Despite that there's only one GB Mega Man game (out of five) on 3DS VC, they've decided to move on to the NES series in Japan (NES Mega Man & NES Mega Man II are both on 3DS VC over there). Also, Fire Emblem (a non-ambassador title) was just released there last week I believe.
